Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used for fabrication of dental implants. Because of potential immunologic and possible esthetic compromises with titanium implants, novel implant technologies are being developed. However, these novel technologies must maintain the characteristics that provide titanium implants with their high success rates. Zirconia implants were introduced into dental implantology as an alternative to titanium implants. Zirconia seems to be a suitable implant material because of its toothlike color, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and low plaque affinity. The aim of this study is to review clinical and research articles conducted on zirconia dental implants, compare them with titanium dental implants, and provide information on zirconia dental implant osseointegration and mechanical strength. Zirconia dental implants have the potential to become alternative dental implants to titanium dental implants, but they are not yet in routine clinical use.
钛及钛合金被广泛用于制造牙科植入物。由于钛植入物存在潜在的免疫问题以及可能的美学缺陷，新型植入技术正在研发中。然而，这些新技术必须保持使钛植入物具有高成功率的特性。氧化锆植入物作为钛植入物的替代品被引入牙科种植学。由于其类似牙齿的颜色、机械性能、生物相容性和低菌斑亲和力，氧化锆似乎是一种合适的植入材料。本研究的目的是回顾关于氧化锆牙科植入物的临床和研究文章，将它们与钛牙科植入物进行比较，并提供有关氧化锆牙科植入物骨整合和机械强度的信息。氧化锆牙科植入物有可能成为钛牙科植入物的替代物，但尚未在常规临床中使用。
